hi there,

        Now that I have upgraded my machines to 3.2 and have allocated swap
of 400MB, I have a question. with swapon -s command I see that only 9% of the
swap is used most of the time. Will it increase the performance of the machine
if I install lazy swap instead of default swap. (remove /sbin/swapdefault file)
Since there is plenty of swap space available, it should not have problem
running programs and swapping only when needed.

Has anyone tried it before?. Any suggestions/comments ?.

Thanks
Rakesh
